What Does "Discovering" Mean to Me?
Hi, my name is Sydney. In the Discovery Center, we discover things; but, what I think discovery means is when you find something new or figure out a new way something works. In my picture I drew me on a nice sunny day discovering a block of gold. The gold said 'For Sydney' in Japanese. It was so exciting! That is what I think discovery means.




Crusie-Inator Design Brief
Transport-Inator
The Inator we created is called the Transport-Inator. Our school problem is Hallways. We thought kids went out to the hallways when they were bored. Our design is located under a picture on the wall. When you take the picture off, it would reveal a latch. When you open the latch a keyboard will appear. A lever will also appear and an "Enter" button. You type in where you would like to go, then you pull the lever. Time is frozen for the teachers, but not the kids. Press "Enter," and it flashes you there. To build our Inator, we used cardboard as the wall, and we made a duct-tape keyboard with Sharpie letters. A styrofoam display covered in electric tape was next. We then created a paper enter button and a neon-orange lever. We covered the wall with leopard-print duct tape. It took us three weeks to create our Inator. We think no one will be bored now, and they will have fun with our Inator.
